Chapter 205: The Yellow Sparrow and the Woman
Wugu Forest was originally a little-known forest outside Gucheng, but when Huaxiong and others entered here, it had become a decisive battle point between the two sides of Gucheng, which no one expected! And if Hua Xiong knew that the other party would attack him and the White Bear Army, he would not have placed the army here if he was killed!
A lunch cost the White Bear Army more than half of its combat strength, and now only the soldiers who served as sentry agents can still fight. Listening to the incessant screams, Hua Zhi's heart was like a knife, but now all he could do was gather the remaining 3,000 remnants of the army and move closer to Gucheng, waiting for Li Ru's support!
"When did the general retreat like this be a head! Now we haven't even found any trace of the other party, even if the military division brings reinforcements, how can we organize an effective counterattack!"
"Don't worry, Ben will be free! Let the brothers who are still standing continue to help those who have lost their strength! We broke through to the west, since these people did not dare to show up, it means that there are not many of them, only relying on a little martial arts to dare to be so rampant, once we break through to the clearing, they will never dare to catch up! Then it's time for us to round them up!"
"Whoa!"
As the general of the Xiliang Army, Hua Xiong can be said to be full of experience, after his analysis, the shortcomings of Bai Yu and others' lack of soldiers and horses are exposed, and this impermanence is a shot in the arm for the demoralized White Bear Army! And in the valley city not far away, when Li Ru saw Hua Xiong's distress letter, his eyes flashed with excitement, which made the wounded White Bear Army soldiers wonder!
"I ordered the state army to immediately set off to follow this army division to Wugulin, and I want to exterminate this group of ground rats with my own hands! In addition, he told Zhang Liao that he was wronged at the moment, and after this battle, his military division would personally come to the door to ask for guilt! Let him be sure to cooperate with the White Bear Army at this moment, and don't miss anything!"
"Whoa!"
And when Zhang Liao received Li Ru's order, he finally understood the cause and process of the incident, and he also knew the rumors that Long Jun had a group of dead soldiers, but he didn't expect that Li Ru would devise such a vicious and vicious plan to lure the other party to take the bait. In Li Ru's plan, the people of Gucheng, Hua Xiong, and the White Bear Army, including him and Hu Zhen, were all victims of this battle!
"Insidious and cunning, the heart of a human-faced beast is nothing more than that!" scolded Li Ru with hatred, Zhang Liao also understood that this battle was very important, so he didn't dare to delay Li Ru's order, so he hurriedly ordered people to gather 3,000 troops and rush to Wugulin!
At this time, outside Wugulin, Hua Xiong had already rushed out with people, but the price paid was equally heavy, the original more than 3,500 soldiers, and only less than 2,000 people finally escaped from Wugulin. Looking at the wailing forest behind him, Hua Xiong's angry eyes showed a chilling killing intent! From beginning to end, the White Bear Army had never seen this group of killers with their own eyes, and the people they had seen had already become corpses lying in the forest. The step-by-step traps and hidden arrows really made this group of soldiers of the White Bear Army who had not met an opponent in the northwest feel aggrieved and humiliated.
"General, what should we do? Is it waiting here for these scumbags? ”
"What can you do if you don't wait? I also want to set fire to the forest, but the east wind is blowing now, otherwise they wouldn't have found a way to use such a sinister trick as poisoning before!"
"But what if these people flee east?"
A word woke up the dreamer, listening to the soldier's question, Hua Xiong looked at Gu Cheng with trembling legs, looking at the dust and smoke flying in the distance, how much he hoped at this moment that Li Ru did not receive the letter for help, Zhang Liao did not take care of the overall situation, but all this is not if! At the moment when Li Ru and the others were stationed on the horse, a sky-high fire ignited on the west side of Gucheng, and the space was burned almost distorted.
"Poof" spit out a mouthful of blood, Li Ru looked at the raging flames, and finally couldn't suppress the grief and anger in his heart, and fell from the horse gloomily, before he fell unconscious, he hated and shouted, "The thief mistook me!!"
Half a day later, when the herald ran and killed three horses, he finally passed the news back to the camp of the Xiliang Army outside Luoyang City! Hearing the news, Dong Zhuo fell to the ground in a daze, and the generals in the tent were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and no one talked much, and they were all stunned on the spot. Staring at the report in his hand, Dong Zhuo's eyes closed and he was completely unconscious!
The fire in Gucheng can be said to have burned the hope of the Xiliang army and burned Dong Zhuo's self-confidence, he thought that with Li Ru there, even if Long Jun secretly used means to counter the other party, but now that the grain and grass are gone, what will the Xiliang army use to consume the Luoyang garrison? And in terms of the morale of both sides, under the advantage of one and the other, the Xiliang army is very likely to be annihilated by the other party by seizing this loophole!
Dong Zhuo, who woke up at night, asked weakly with the support of the guards, "Has Wen You ever returned?" ”
"Back to the lord! The military advisor is on the road at the moment, but this time the valley city was destroyed, and he was already unconscious! My subordinates suggested, why don't we withdraw our troops and wait for a counteroffensive in the coming day? ”
"A counteroffensive in Japan? Huh!" Hearing this, Dong Zhuo pushed away the guards beside him, walked to Yutu in a daze, pointed at the entire Si Li, and sneered, "If I withdraw from the army, let's not say what Long Jun in the city will do!" First of all, Zhang Yang, who is stationed in Hanoi, will not let us leave easily, if we are bitten by him, Long Jun will take the initiative to attack after the matter is finished!"
After a pause, Dong Zhuo moved his finger to Liangzhou in the northwest again, and continued with a bitter face: "As for Liangzhou, you don't need me to say more, you also know what the situation is, although Zhang Ji has been under my command all these years, but don't forget that his nephew is Long Jun's nephew and nephew, plus Beigong Boyu's group, whether Niu Fu's army can hold Yongzhou is a matter of whether or not!"
"My lord, what if we retreat south?"
"South? Hmph, there is Yuan Shu this stupid person blocking to the south, and the retreat to Chang'an is the same reason, when I sent a message to reprimand Long Jun, this guy jumped out against me, if he knows our current situation, as long as he guards Nanyang, I will be defeated in the future!"
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either! My lord, how should we behave? Are you just waiting for the news of the destruction of grain and grass? "Unlike the general generals of the Xiliang Army, Guo Ci, as a tiger general under Dong Zhuo, has always been straightforward! And Dong Zhuo appreciates this very much of him, if it weren't for his daughter liking Li Ru, he would want to marry his eldest daughter to Guo Ci!
Hearing Guo Ci's question, Dong Zhuo smiled silently, staring at Luoyang in the map for a long time, until he heard Guo Ci ask again, he said self-deprecatingly, "Of course I won't just wait!" Instead of being forced to accept it, it is better to take the initiative, I am wondering if it is time to come forward to meet our little emperor! In the past, I was afraid to see him, after all, if I met him, I would lose three points morally, but now this situation.... Huh...."
"If the lord doesn't want to see him, it's better to let his subordinates attack the city directly, I don't believe that only Long Jun's 80,000 troops can hold Luoyang, which is in all directions!"
"No need! Do you think I should be allowed to attack the city directly? Have you forgotten Qiao Mao and Wang Kuang? After sneering and glancing at Guo Ci, Dong Zhuo turned around and walked to the shelf where the armor was hung, and stroked the armor that had accompanied him for many years with his hand, with a lot of reluctance in his eyes!
"Pass the order, tomorrow the troops will go to Luoyang City, this official, as a Han courtier, should give our Majesty a greeting!"
"My lord...."
"Okay, I've made up my mind, don't say more!" After stopping Li Su's worried words, Dong Zhuo walked towards the inner tent in frustration, at this moment his once upright body seemed to bend a lot!
In the early morning of the second day, Long Jun, who was lying on the hospital bed, was also in a good mood when he learned the news of Gucheng's victory, so he specially asked people to prepare a banquet, planning that after they came back, Guo Jia would pick up the dust for the two and seven people who had returned here!
"Remember to entertain this group of brothers! This battle in Gucheng has made the strength of the enemy and us reversed, and I believe that Dong Zhuo will make a decision soon!"
"Oh, don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will never slack off in this matter!"
"Well, then you go down and prepare, I believe they should be back tonight! It's still that sentence, pay more attention to the impact, don't let Cao Cao's people find out about them!"
"Yes!" Guo Jia responded to Long Jun's request in a deep voice, but just as he was about to leave the house, he suddenly remembered that there was another purpose for coming this time, so he turned to Long Jun and asked with a chuckle, "What about Meng Qi and Mrs. Aya.... Look, my lord..."
"What do you see? Reckless, willful! Fortunately, she broke into Dong Zhuo's tent at the beginning, if she met Lu Bu, do you think she would be able to come back safe and sound? And that Ma Chao, this idiot actually dared to let Liu Aya assassinate alone, if it weren't for my injury, I would have to clean him up myself!"
"The lord can wronged Meng Qi for this matter, you don't know that except for the old lady and that in our house, even you don't dare to provoke Mrs. Aya, let alone Meng Qi."
"It's all, do you think Aya'er dares to make such an rude request to Zilong? It's not that he's stupid, he lets Aya'er handle it every time! Say a thousand words and ten thousand, it's still the same sentence, when will I heal my injury, and when will he be released from confinement!"
As soon as the words fell, a shadow flashed at the door, pushed Guo Jia away, skimmed Long Jun on the bed, and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't go too far, I'll tell you!" Why am I being willful? And Ma Chao's kid is a little stupid, but I'm not fine, why do you always clean up people? Why is it great to be a master? If you have the ability, you come at me, what kind of work do you do at him!"
"You..."Looking at the vexatious Liu Aya, Long Jun's head was big for a while, since Ma Chao was punished that day, she began to find this intercession and that intercession, the day before because of this incident, even Cheng's was alarmed, and he pinched his ears and educated him, as if he Long Jun was cleaning up Liu Aya by cleaning up Ma Chao!
"What are you? Long Jun, I'll put my words here today, what dissatisfaction do you have coming at me, don't be angry with others!"
"Then I'll tell you Liu Aya, I allow you to be willful, but you have to give me a time if you are willful, right? Hundreds of thousands of enemy battalions, you rashly broke in, in case something goes wrong, did you think about me? Have you ever thought about this home? When the time comes, if Dong Zhuo threatens me with you and asks me to abandon Luoyang, what should I do? What should the Long family do? Well? ”
Looking at Long Jun, whose tone became more and more severe, Liu Aya felt that she was wrong for the first time, but there was another voice in her heart telling her that she must not admit defeat, otherwise she will be eaten to death by Long Jun in the future, just like Ganmei!
"I won't tell you! Anyway, your apprentice, what do you like!"
